jdouglas, thanks. I will never turn down an offer for key lime cheesecake! :)

And I have two naughty dogs as well. Honestly I can say that being a mom to a toddler is much less frustrating than dealing with my dogs. Yeah, they're that bad...

smolder, while I can't totally relate since the closest I came to having kids was a boatload of naughty, furry pups, I am wishing you the best for a quick, easy birth :)

Would you like a raincheck for a key lime cheesecake?

jdouglas - blueberries work for me as well!

smolder - I totally understand the desire to be "done" sooner than later - here's hoping for an easy and maybe slightly early entrance for the little one! :-)

jdouglas-Sometimes I think I gain weight just reading your posts! LOL. I hope I can make it to the picnic too, but my first son came early, so I really expect that this one will too. And I certainly wouldn't mind being "done" sooner rather than later. :)

You're on! Cheesecake(s) and cream puffs for the picnic. Maybe a pasta concoction of some sort too. Y'all better bring some kind of cooler to store your goodies in! LOL

Faye, I make a mean blueberry sauce, but if you can describe your Mom's raspberry sauce (or have the recipe), I will see what I can do :) Have I mentioned my chocolate torte cake that has raspberries baked into it and is topped with chocolate ganache?

Smolder, I am so hoping you can make it to the picnic! If not, maybe we should consider having one more than once a year? We could always have an early holiday version in November before all the Thanksgiving work starts. It's still warm enough then.

Juanita can you wait till the picnic? If not, let me know ;)
